On the morning of Saturday, October 5, the Center opened its doors to a variety of local and national groups who are doing the hard work of advancing Immigration in an incredibly divided state and country.  

​

The planners of the event recognized how easy it can be to lose hope amidst the ongoing struggle and  unhelpful and divisive rhetoric around the issue.  The answer was:  in service.  In a number of short segments, organizations like the Latin America Alliance, La Amistad, Circle of Care, and Team Libertad shared their stories of hope in the face of great challenge:  it's in the relationships we form with those we are helping and with each other.  

 

​In answer to the question, "And who is my neighbor?" the answer is 'everyone.'  All of us are neighbors in God's good creation.
